Well, my question was whether or not it's allowed for the *FontWG* to
work on it, not for browsers to implement it.  The charter explicitly
says that we shouldn't be working on any new formats other than WOFF.
Is CWT new enough to be restricted by this, or is the fact that it's
just a reinterpretation of an existing format enough to let it slide?

Except for IE which will support it by default with no further effort
(interpreting it as EOT), not as of yet.  Unfortunately.
